      Ok, so I'm now using "Magic Engine" as my Turbo Grafix 16 (NEC PC Engine) Emu. Along with mamewah 1.61 as my front end.

       Any whooo... currently configured the emu to the button specifics I want for in game play etc..

        It seems to run just fine and it works!!*If I drag and drop a game xxxx.pce into the .exe
    - :soapbox: However When I try to launch the game off the game list of mamewah it will bring me into the menu of the emulator itself instead of launching the game. I realized that I don't even need an ESC Hack because it automatically supposidly detects a front end launching it ...so it *gulps* should just escape back to mamewah but it won't // only if i "cut and paste" a game into the emulator while in windows will it work properly. Here's my ini as follows:
### 0013.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###

Basically I just got lucky went to Jcrous site and was able to look at that ini and based on that i was able to fix mine i guess i was pointing it to the wrong thing or something I dont know // now my new challenge for the next few days is "SSF Emulator" or .. Sega Saturn.
